Weatherly Company reported the following results for the year ended December 31, 2016, its first year of operations: Income (per books before income taxes) $3,300,000 Taxable income 4,450,000 The disparity between book income and taxable income is attributable to a temporary difference, which will reverse in 2017. What should Weatherly record as a net deferred tax asset or liability for the year ended December 31, 2016, assuming that the enacted tax rates in effect are 35% in 2016 and 30% in 2017

Deferred tax asset = $402,500

Explanation:

given data

Income before income taxes = $3,300,000

Taxable income = $4,450,000

tax rates 2016 = 35%

tax rates 2017 = 30%

solution

first we will take here difference between Income before income taxes and Taxable income that is

= Taxable income - Income before income taxes

= $4,450,000 - $3,300,000

= $1,150,000

we can say now taxable income is the higher income than income before income tax

so we get here Deferred tax asset that is

Deferred tax asset = 35% of $1,150,000

Deferred tax asset = $402,500
